Steve Smith- fabulous drummer, but in Focus!? I have all their records and I had to check. He played drums on the “Focus con Proby” album that came out in early ‘78. Don’t know if he toured with them on the very short support tour that followed. He has a great jazz band, Vital Information, and has played on dozens of fantastic jazz and rock records.
